Vidlet! "Awakenings," male android/female android (Robot Stories)

(Okay, whatever, I made it and here it is. Forgive me if I promote it again later; not sure many people will see it this weekend.)

I saw this 15-minute film and found it really moving. With luck, the vidlet conveys some of those feelings.

Okay, I think I have watched all of them. \o/

Here are the rest of my favorites from this year's festivids masterlist. The ones I find myself watching again and again are marked with a ♥.

Due to an uncharacteristic bout of textual self-restraint, I did not elaborate on why these are particular favorites. My comments on the original vid posts pretty much encompass everything. But feel free to ask, if you are interested!

ETA Feb. 14: Now with vidder names.
